I can just hear the conservatives now: "But but but.. we've been WINNING! This cannot be! We are invincible!". At which point, with any luck, Rule 24 will kick in.
Evil Overlord's List, rule #24: "I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)"
